Pov: Zuko
His voice faded with every step that I took. And with every tear that fell I grew angrier and angrier. How dare he lead me on like that. How dare he put his arms around me, trapping me in a false sense of security. 
I remember sitting there... helpless, as my shirt was torn from my body. I can still remember the feeling of the cool air holding onto the scars that I keep hidden away under my clothes. All the while Sokka was getting it on with Suki. 
My footsteps burn into the sidewalk as I finally approach my house.

Pov: Sokka
I have no idea what just happened. All I remember is going to confess to Zuko, him storming out of my room, and flaming up the whole place. I would have been hit with them if it wasn't for Katara. Good thing she had a glass of water in her hands, or else I would have been toast. Literally. Then I walked out after him, the air still warm from his presents. I couldn't go out there in just my underwear, so I let him go. 
My footsteps found their way back into the house. Katara looked at me with a mix of angry/worried painted on her face. 
I don't say a word. I feel like crying. I don't understand why he'd do this. 
I go to text him, walking into my room to find my phone. The bed still has his silhouette indented in the mattress. I can see the both of us cuddling asleep, why couldn't we stay that way. 
I put in my password, 9856, and press on the messages icon. My home screen littered with pictures of us. It was so obvious. 
Then it hit me. A message from Suki. My heart sank to the deepest parts of my chest. I read the message and everything clicked. He must had read it while me and 'Tara were talking.
Sokka. 
-Suki nothing happened between us. You were drunk and YOU were the one touching me. Leave me alone before I block you. 
Before I could even click the arrow button to leave her contact, she replied. 
Suki. 
-You know you want me, just admit it. I'm a cheerleader and mega hot. Why wouldn't you take this opportunity. 
God this girls ego is bigger than the moon. Someone needs to humble her. 
Sokka. 
-Girl get off your high horse and face reality. No one is going to want to date a girl who thinks she's better than everyone else. Please seek psychiatric help and leave me alone. Have a good life. 
With that I blocked her. She needs to face reality, and so do I. 
Sokka. 
-Zuko, I know what you saw on my phone and please trust me, it's not what it seems. Nothing happened between me and Suki at the party. She approached me when I was going to get you water and started touching me. She was totally shitfaced. I'm sorry for making you feel this way, please come back.

My phone beeped beside me. A sense of dread filled the air, even the flys on my wall knew who this was from. 
read. 
I don't know if I believe him. I'm still angry, and id rather take this anger out on him instead of my pillow. My feet walked themselves back over to his house. With every step I became more anxious. I was struggle to breath. I couldn't walk. All I could do was sit down on the sidewalk, crying. What if he's lying. What if they really did do something. What if he just feels bad for what happened to me. 
These thoughts crept up on me, blurring my surroundings. My head laid in my arms as my sleeves were filled with tears. I was crying like a toddler. 
A hand reached out and touched my back. A body sat next to me, leaning a knee next to mine. I knew who it was. I lifted my head from my arms, and Sokka's eyes looked into mine. I've lost count of how many times I've gotten lost in his eyes. Before I knew it his face was pressed against mine. Our lips made contact and I felt my anger fade off into the air. My tears stopped falling, and the anxiety knotted up in my stomach flew away. How could his lips hold so much power over me. I never want this moment to end, but it did. He pulled away from me, a water glaze washed over his eyes as he smiled. We didn't need words. We knew what we were thinking. 
Our lips touched again.
